Operating "Plant overview" in runtime

Introduction

Display the configured plant view in runtime using the "Plant overview" controls.

You use it to navigate to the plant objects within the plant structure and get an overview of your plant at one glance.

If you have configured screens or alarms for the lower-level plant objects and have linked them to the "Plant overview" control, display these screens and alarms in runtime.

If you have configured events for the "Plant overview" control and linked these to scripts, the scripts are called when the events occur.

An event can, for example, be linked to the operation of the buttons in the control.

Requirement

  • The plant view has been created and assigned to a device.

  • The "Plant overview" control and the corresponding companion controls are configured in the screen of the assigned device.

  • Runtime is active.

Procedure

The plant view is displayed in the "Plant overview" control.

  1. To display all lower-level plant objects, click [[ICON]] "Expand all".

  2. To display the configured screen or screen window for a selected plant object, click on the respective plant object in the "Plant overview" control.

  3. In case of an alarm, the plant path of the alarm source is displayed in the "Range" column of the connected alarm view.

    The alarm icon only appears an alarm has actually occurred at the respective plant object. The alarm icon disappears again when the alarm is no longer present.
